Definition

Elite segregation refers to the social and physical separation of individuals belonging to a higher social class or elite group from the rest of society. This can manifest in various ways, such as living in exclusive neighborhoods, attending private schools, or belonging to private clubs or organizations that cater only to the elite. Elite segregation can contribute to increased inequality, as it perpetuates the divide between the wealthy and the less privileged members of society.
